Collection: March Birthstones

Historically, jasper and bloodstone (heliotrope) were the birthstones of March, while aquamarine was originally linked to October. However, in 1912, the American National Retail Jewelers Association replaced jasper with aquamarine for commercial reasons.
Jasper was seen as a protective talisman, with different colors carrying unique properties—black for shielding, red for harmony, and green for prosperity. Bloodstone, tied to Christian legends, was believed to boost intuition and cleanse the body.
Aquamarine, a variety of beryl, is associated with clarity, communication, and stress relief. In Indian Jyotish astrology, it aligns with Mercury, not Jupiter, raising debate about its connection to Pisces.
Whether you follow ancient traditions or modern jewelry standards, March offers a choice between earthy protection (jasper, bloodstone) or watery clarity (aquamarine).
